Sorry hon, you fit in just fine right here. Your experiences are just as valuable as any other. I love hearing about others systems because it helps me understand mine better, for we aren't totally like forthcoming.... we know our others traits mostly by observing.
Is there a reason why yours have gone quiet on you that you can think of? Are you the original? What are their triggers? Can you describe them? Maybe they got scared into hiding? What in life has changed if any to cause such a thing to happen? Etc. etc.
Just because they are inert doesn't mean that they disappeared.
We used to be a quiet bunch, quiet as a church mouse avoiding being noticed... even to ourselves. Now we go blah blah blah all day long....ooops, lol.
I've been wondering about your situation (but don't want to ask as to pry because this is much a personal private condition: information only voluntarily given)- they aren't like behind the scene involved and you don't know it?
Actually, I'm somewhat envious of your situation summed up in one word- stable.
Stable scares me though, none of us on their own is capable of handling life successfully.
I hope that you are feeling better.
